Pocket Calculator

Here’s another weekend-project. Actually it’s more an “interface study”, but a fully functional calculator app. It is all based around the thought: why does the “Calculator” app on my computer still look like a hardware pocket calculator from the 1950’s?

Why doesn’t it render the formula like a proper formula editor?

Why can’t I enter formluae like in a modern programming language?

The result looks like this:

If you are into RealBasic programming, you might like to have a look at the fully fledged formula parser and the graphical formula renderer, which are both implemented in ‘pure’ RB 5.5 code without any plugins or external classes. All source code is included in the package and “GNU’d” for your reuse pleasure.
